Worship In Spirit and In Truth – The Power of Prayer and Praise Vol. 1 // Bill Winston Ministries

0:01 ANNOUNCER: The Believers Walk of Faith is paid for 0:02 by Bill Winston ministry’s partners and viewers. 0:08 BILL: Righteousness has everything to do with 0:12 your successful life of prayer. When you pray 0:18 righteously, you pray with confidence that whatever 0:23 you pray God is going to hear you. When you pray something and 0:29 you’re waiting on the manifestation of the answer, 0:31 once you pray it, is when the fight begins. Notice the devil 0:37 starts with your thoughts, so if you thought wrong, put your hand 0:42 over your mouth because if you come out with something that 0:44 negates that prayer, then you’re going to have to start over 0:47 again. We have to watch what we say, because angels are on 0:53 assignment and waiting on God’s words that you speak. How do you 1:00 know that you have the petition you desired of Him? Because He 1:04 heard you. How do you know He heard you? Because you prayed 1:07 according to His will. When God suggests the impossible to you, 1:12 be it unto me. Don’t try to figure it out, how He’s going to 1:17 do it, how is this going to work through me, only believe. 1:24 BILL: There’s two kinds of knowledge. The 1:26 knowledge that comes by the senses is what 1:34 I refer to as dark knowledge. It is knowledge that helps 1:44 one to navigate in this dark world. Got it? Get different 1:52 degrees of that knowledge. But that’s not all. The 1:59 other knowledge is spiritual knowledge which comes from God, 2:07 that if you don’t have spiritual knowledge, you’re missing part 2:14 of your knowledge. Because this knowledge here, dark knowledge, 2:23 may be able to get you a good job, but it won’t, it won’t keep 2:32 the devil from trying to work something on you that that 2:45 knowledge cannot stop. Say amen. Y’all follow what I’m saying. 2:51 I’m saying we’ve got to make sure we get this knowledge as 2:58 well. And that’s why you have to bring people in church. I mean 3:01 these professional people, you gotta make sure that, wait a 3:03 minute, you gotta have this, man. I mean, ain’t no use in 3:06 getting that job and then catch cancer. You need to get 3:08 something to get cancer off of you just like you need the job. 3:12 Are you following what I’m saying? So this that I’m talking 3:18 about acknowledge of the spirit that the natural man many times 3:27 considers foolish. First Corinthians chapter 2 in verse 3:34 14. But the natural man receive not the things of spirit of God 3:39 for their foolishness, neither can he know them because they’re 3:43 spiritually desert. So the natural man, the person who 3:47 doesn’t have spiritual knowledge or light I call it, in dark 3:51 knowledge thinks that’s foolish. So when I tell them, you don’t 3:57 have to be sick at all, that every virus, disease and germ 4:01 that touches your body can die instantly. The natural man says 4:06 that’s not right. What he’s doing to y’all is he’s lying to 4:10 ya’ll. And I just read it out of the constitution. And because 4:14 the natural man has no knowledge of the constitution or no 4:18 revelation of how to walk with God, then the natural man 4:23 disputes that. And some people follow that because he got 4:26 credentials. I’m here to tell you all that mess you’re seeing 4:30 on TV, that doesn’t apply to you. That don’t apply to, you 4:39 know, the devil has this trick that he’ll come in with a flip 4:43 chart and make a full presentation to you. He’ll take 4:46 a flip chart and fold it up and say, look, this what you got 4:50 right here. Don’t you have some. And give you some symptoms. And 4:53 you said, no, no, no, that, ain’t what I got. And then he’ll 4:56 roll it up. He said, no, this I know you got cause your 4:59 great-grandma had this and it’s running in your family line. Now 5:03 he don’t know you in a different family right now. But it’s 5:06 running in your family line. Watch this. But you gotta say 5:12 no, no, no. See, you can receive any one of those. You can 5:17 receive… They’re making a presentation on TV. They’re 5:20 making a presentation, man. They’re telling you what you 5:24 got. They say you got this. And we open up the cancer center 5:28 just for you. Cause you got this and you need these pills and you 5:32 got this. Your mama had this and passed down and you, this is in 5:37 the air so forth. You gotta say no, in Jesus name, by his 5:42 stripes, I’m healed and no plagues shall come on my 5:47 dwelling. That’s why it’s called television. He trying to tell 5:53 you his vision. That’s not God’s vision for you. God sees you 5:59 healed. God sees you well. God sees you victorious. God sees 6:05 you a millionaire. God, come on now. Now wait a minute. You got 6:15 you a millionaire. God, come on now. Now wait a minute. You got 6:21 some spectators in here. See, oh he’s getting these people all 6:25 hyped up. I just read it out of the constitution. But that, that 6:29 don’t make no difference with them. Cause they ain’t saved. 6:32 They ain’t saved. See, you got to get saved to receive. A lot 6:44 of times, we’re trying to follow after somebody that ain’t even 6:47 saved. You ain’t saved. You can’t tell me nothing. Cause you 6:54 don’t know nothin. Oh boy, don’t make me preach. Somebody pulling 7:08 this out of me. See the devil don’t want me to tell you this, 7:22 but he’s under your feet. Tell him if he got another 7:29 presentation to make to you, tell him to talk to your shoe. 7:34 Oh yeah. They ain’t doing nothing but make presentations 7:44 Oh yeah. They ain’t doing nothing but make presentations 7:50 on television. And they trying, the enemy is trying to use that 7:54 communication media to tell you what you got. That is not 7:57 information. That’s not to inform you so you’ll be more 8:03 intelligent. It’s to make you think you got it. And what he 8:09 comes in with suggestion. And then he comes in with a symptom. 8:13 And you need to rebuke it as soon as you come here. I rebuke 8:22 you in the name of Jesus. You got a friend around you 8:25 somewhere. Lay hands on me right there. Oh, okay. Thank you. 8:29 Appreciate it. Amen. All right. Where we go from here? Now don’t 8:36 be, don’t be a little thrown out if somebody around you don’t 8:42 like this. Put Romans chapter three up there. Verse three. 8:45 See, I got something for you. For what if some around you do 8:54 not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God 8:58 without effect. Come on. God forbid. Come on, read it. Let 9:04 God be true and every man be alive. So when 9:13 you start stepping out over into the impossible, because 9:17 you’re about to get something now that’s big. 9:19 Come on. You’re about to step into Canaan land. You’re 9:22 about to get the best of God. You’re about to be a 9:25 witness for Jesus. You’re about to set up a platform for, for 9:29 people to know your God. You’ve got to know that the enemy tried 9:34 to stop you at some point. And sometimes he try to put a 9:38 symptom or disease or something on you like that to try to make 9:41 it. And you gotta shake that thing off. You gotta know, wait 9:44 a minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. See, are you follow what 9:47 I’m saying? And you gotta walk it out by faith. Say amen to 9:50 that. Now the next one is over here in Romans chapter eight and 9:56 verse one. He said therefore now no condemnation to them which 10:02 are in Christ Jesus. Who walked not after the what? Flesh. But 10:07 after the who? Spirit. All right. Now, remember Satan is a 10:14 deceiver, a tempter and a condemner or an accuser. He 10:22 accused the brethren before God. The Bible says in Roman chapter 10:26 12, day and night. So he is an accuser. All right, now here’s 10:32 why I wanna go through this with. This is why I wanna go 10:36 through it. Now all this is kingdom mindset now. Say kingdom 10:42 mindset. Over in second Corinthians, chapter 5, verse 10:53 17. He says, therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new 10:59 creature. All things are passed away. Behold, all things have 11:07 become new. All right. Now here’s what happened with this. 11:10 You and I are not flesh. We are spirit. Uh, the Bible talks 11:25 about two, two men, two people in second Corinthians chapter 4 11:30 and verse 16. We read it last time. He said, for which cause 11:37 we faint not, but though our outward man perish, the inward 11:40 is renewed. When? Day by day. Two men, same body. Two men, 11:44 same person. Two men. Got it? One man is inside. That one you 11:52 can’t see. The other man is outside. That one you can see. 11:59 The outside man is perishing. The inside man is being renewed 12:06 day by day. Now when you and I expire or Jesus comes or tarries 12:14 and, and you and I are expiring before he comes, then, which man 12:21 is still going to be alive and well? The inward man, your 12:27 spirit can live without your body. But your body can’t live 12:33 without your spirit. Because there ain’t no life in it. 12:36 There’s no life in it. If that body falls on the ground and 12:44 nobody does anything with it, what is it gonna do? It’s gonna 12:48 go back to the dirt. So your body is dignified dirt. Come on, 12:56 dignified dirt. I know we trying to do a whole lot with it, but 13:00 it is dignified dirt. Okay. Okay. Now. Okay. Let me get off 13:12 over here. Okay. Alright. Now Y’all still with me? So now the 13:21 real you is in there. Now you have a soul called your mind, 13:30 will, emotions, intellect and imagination. It’s right up here 13:33 and it runs down. Now it’s a connector between the spirit and 13:41 your body. Now you are never led. You were never designed to 13:47 be led by your body, nor your mind. You were designed to be 13:59 led by your spirit. And that’s why he put up their Proverbs 14:04 chapter 20 in verse 27. Please put it up there right quick. Let 14:07 me just read that for you. Notice I’m walking through this 14:09 now. he spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. Watch this, 14:14 searching all the what, inward parts of the belly. Let me 14:18 define that, break it down for you. Simple, God will use your 14:22 spirit to guide you. So he doesn’t talk to your mind. He 14:28 talks to your spirit. Your mind is not alive. God wants to talk 14:34 with you. So we are coming back to a time now he wants to spend 14:41 time with you. He walked and talked with Adam and Eve. You, 14:46 you, you in the God class, you and God y’all can talk together. 14:50 When you pray, He talks back. You’re not group, and now stay 14:57 there. Listen. So he that worshiped the father must what? 15:07 Worship him in spirit and in truth. So my spirit is alive and 15:17 Romans chapter one verse, pardon me chapter eight and verse one 15:24 says, there is therefore now no condemnation. Watch this to 15:30 them, to them, which are in who? Christ Jesus. Are you in Christ 15:36 Jesus? Who, what? Walk not after the what? Flesh, but after 15:44 spirit. Now why is this? Because when you got born again, you’re 15:51 flesh was involved in what you did before. Watch this, and your 15:58 mind remembers it, but your new spirit wasn’t involved. And your 16:07 spirit is you, not your body. That’s not you. That is your 16:16 house that you live in while you here in this dispensation, in 16:21 the earth. When Jesus comes back and the glorified church comes, 16:24 you gonna get a new body. It’s gonna be a glorified body. So 16:29 now, no condemnation. So what did you do before that body? 16:38 Whoever did that died. Whoever, before that new spirit came, 16:49 whoever did that died. That body’s not you it’s gonna be 16:55 dirt. That’s not you. That person who did that died, and 17:00 the person who’s in there now, never sin. Now wait a minute, 17:09 why are you feeling like you did? Because your mind still 17:16 remembers what that one did and your mind can’t be born again. 17:23 It can only be renewed. So it’s renewed when you get the word 17:33 and find out that what God says about you is true. And don’t go 17:41 by your feelings, because your feelings will lie to you. You 17:47 need to go by the word, if your feelings contradict the word, go 17:51 with the word, because Jesus said, I’m the way, the truth and 17:55 the life. So wait a minute. I’m almost done. So look at 18:01 scripture in Isaiah 43. I even, I am he, this is, he means God, 18:09 that bloteth out your transgresions for my own sake. 18:14 And I will not. I will what? Not, remember your sin. Blot! 18:25 How am I going to blot something? How about spot 18:32 remover? Anybody ever work with spot remover before? Notice, you 18:37 don’t know what happened to the spot, but it got removed. And 18:42 I’m saying that God blots out what you did. Watch this, out of 18:49 his book. So he has no recollection of what you did 18:57 when you got born again. So I just got born again. I’m now in 19:02 the kingdom of God and guess what I’m brand new. Oh, my flesh 19:06 might have participated in some stuff. But the man who did that, 19:10 the woman who did that, they died. I’m brand new. Now you’ve 19:15 got to receive this. Suppose I get born again and I miss it. 19:22 Now God just told me when I got born again, he’ll remember my 19:29 sins no more. That’s done. Say amen to that. So that’s gone. He 19:34 blotted it out of his book. Now wait a minute. He didn’t put it 19:36 in history. Because history, I can recall it. He blotted it. 19:43 It’s like it never existed. So when God sees you, he somebody 19:52 that never sinned. Folks, this is key for you to have what we 20:05 call righteous prayer. See, when you pray righteously you 20:12 pray with confidence that whatever you pray, God is 20:18 gonna hear you. Now suppose you saved and 20:25 get into sin. You got condemnation in your life. 20:29 You see yourself low. You see yourself low. You can’t 20:33 even look right. You can’t even dress right. Your hair look like 20:36 I don’t know what and so forth, because you got the wrong 20:40 perception of who you are. But when you get a clear picture of 20:45 how God sees you, you can look right, dress right, talk right, 20:50 be happy all the time and so forth. The reason why you’re 20:54 manipulated and brought down and your attitude is bad and 20:58 everything is because the devil is still in your council. And 21:02 he’s telling you how to think, how to walk and how to talk. 21:05 He’s crippled you long enough. Now I’m preaching you this cause 21:09 I had to come through this same teaching myself to get free 21:14 because I had an old life that if I brought it in my mind, it 21:18 would make me ashamed. It would make me feel I’m not worthy to 21:22 preach the gospel. But I had to remember any man that is in 21:27 Christ. First John 1:9. Here’s what he says. I’m about done. If 21:37 Christ. First John 1:9. Here’s what he says. I’m about done. If 21:50 we confess our sins, he’s faithful and just to do what? 21:52 Forgive us our sins and to what? Cleanse us for all what? All 21:57 righteousness. Effective, fervent prayer of the who? 22:00 Righteous, availeth much. The enemy trying to keep you from 22:04 your righteousness. And let me tell you, if you confess that 22:07 thing, God is faithful to do what? Forgive it. He didn’t put 22:12 in no memory bank. He forgave it. He wiped it out. Blotted it 22:17 out. It’s gone. I’m here to tell you. This is what Jesus did for 22:24 us. He paid it all. He paid it all. And thank God he did. So 22:38 that people like me could preach the gospel. People like the 22:42 apostle Paul. All them people that Paul had and was consenting 22:48 to their death and getting them killed and so forth like that. 22:52 Paul end up saying in Second Corinthians 7:2, I’ve hurt no 22:58 man. He touch no man. Why? He’s talking about the, the new man. 23:10 Now, all I gotta do now is renew my mind, because the enemy’s 23:14 gonna come in my old thoughts, try to renew those old thoughts, 23:17 watch this, and give me this idea that I gotta, every time I 23:21 get on my knees, I gotta be confessing sin. That’s called 23:25 sin conscious. And what it’ll do is it’ll weaken your spirit and 23:29 when it weakens your spirit, your spirit will not release a 23:32 force of faith. And if we won’t release a force of faith, your 23:35 prayer ain’t going no higher than your nose. Now give 23:39 the Lord a praise. I’m done. Free at last! Free at 23:45 last! Thank God almighty. I’m free at last. 23:58 BILL: Well, I trust you were blessed by this powerful 24:00 teaching from this four disc series that’s called 24:03 the power of prayer and praise. Praise God. 24:07 Now, here’s a very important point you wanna 24:09 remember. That the key to an effective righteous prayer is 24:14 having no condemnation. Now, believing that God has blotted 24:19 out your transgressions for his own sake and will not remember 24:23 your sins. Now it says that in I Isaiah chapter 43 and 25. You 24:29 see, every time you got down to pray and you start thinking 24:32 about what you did wrong, it will take it and dilute your 24:36 faith because faith makes prayer work. Prayer doesn’t make faith 24:40 work. You need the faith to launch your prayer. So when 24:44 condemnation comes in, it tries to take your faith right out and 24:49 make you ineffective in prayer. But God has blotted out your 24:53 transgressions for his own sake. And he’ll not remember our 24:57 sins. Praise God. The announcement’s gonna give 25:00 you some information on how you can order this 25:02 powerful set of teachings. I’ll be right back. 25:07 BILL: Righteousness has everything to do 25:10 with your successful life of prayer. When you pray 25:17 righteously, you pray with confidence that whatever you 25:23 pray God is going to hear you. When you pray something and 25:27 you’re waiting on the manifestation of the answer, 25:30 once you pray it, is when the fight begins. Notice the devil 25:36 starts with your thoughts, so if you thought wrong, put your hand 25:41 over your mouth because if you come out with something that 25:43 negates that prayer, then you’re going to have to start over 25:45 again. We have to watch what we say, because angels are on 25:52 assignment and waiting on God’s words that you speak. How do you 25:59 know that you have the petition you desired of Him? Because He 26:03 heard you. How do you know He heard you? Because you prayed 26:06 according to His will. When God suggests the impossible to you, 26:11 be it unto me. Don’t try to figure it out, how He’s going to 26:16 do it, how is this going to work through me, only believe. 26:21 ANNOUNCER: Stand in your righteousness, and exercise four 26:25 easy steps that will yield effective, fervent prayer every 26:29 time you pray in pastor Winston’s life changing 26:32 four disc series, the power of prayer and 26:36 praise. To order on CD or DVD, by bank 26:39 card at 1-800-711-9327 or online at billwinston.org. 26:47 BILL: Hello, my name is Bill Winston. I am here to 26:50 tell you about this exciting book, it’s called “The Vengeance 26:53 of the Lord.” Now, this is a topic a lot of Christians never 26:58 understood. It’s not revenge, that’s a human concept. This is 27:05 vengeance. God says over in Hebrews chapter 10:30, vengeance 27:09 is mine and I will recompense saith the Lord. What does it 27:14 mean? It means justice. It means that God is the one that’s going 27:17 to justify you. When we were trying to buy our first shopping 27:22 mall, the people didn’t want us to have it, but the vengeance of 27:25 the Lord stepped in. The next thing you know, ha, we got the 27:29 mall. Not only that, they tried to keep us from having services, 27:33 and we got that too. My point to you is there are places you 27:36 can’t go without the vengeance of the Lord. And just like 27:40 anything else that’s a provision of God, you have to do it by 27:44 faith. Well, how does faith come? By hearing and hearing by 27:48 the Word. The Vengeance of the Lord, get this book, build your 27:52 faith, and I’m telling you it will make you unstoppable. I’m 27:57 talking about in the education area, changing educational laws 28:02 back to be under the order of the kingdom of God. In economic, 28:08 in government, everything. This vengeance of the Lord will open 28:12 a pathway. One man said this, because of God’s people had not 28:16 known vengeance, many have been victims. Not you. Praise 28:19 God. Cause here’s the book called “The Vengeance of 28:23 the Lord.” Get it today, you’ll be blessed. 28:25 Bill Winston saying, keep walking by faith.
